Terry Crews wants to be the Silver Surfer

Terry Crews is arguably one of the greatest comedic/action stars of our generation. His work has landed him roles next to Hollywood icons like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now he is currently the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and co-star on the hit Fox comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Crews recently did an open Reddit AMA. Over the past year Terry was known as a fan-favorite among fans for the role of Luke Cage in Marvel’s A.K.A. Jessica Jones. The role eventually went to Mike Colter. During his AMA, Terry touched roles he missed out on and also revealed which superhero he’d love to play.

You know? Again… it’s hard to pick a favorite super-hero. I always did love Luke Cage, and I’m really, really happy about who they cast in the Netflix version of Luke Cage. So that’s something that’s already done. But you know who else I’d like to play? The Silver Surfer. I always LOVED – I thought I had the build, the body, I could get on that surfboard, and if they ever do a live-action version of Silver Surfer, I think that would be perfect for me.

I think I have to agree with reddit user wadech and say that Terry Crews would “be the most jacked Silver Surfer in history. Galactus would ask for your permission before eating a Planet.” I’m not entirely sure if Terry could fit the role of Norrin Radd, but one thing is certain, Terry has made a business of not being typecast.

Do you think Terry Crews should have a shot at playing the Silver Surfer?
